Cynthia Erivo started the 99th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Saturday with a show-stopping performance of Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good” and an outfit that fans couldn’t stop talking about.
The Wicked: For Good star, who just regained her voice after losing it during the film’s press tour, delivered her opening number with a smile and a bold look that lit up the chilly New York streets.
Minutes after her performance aired, the actress shared her excitement on Instagram.
“What an honor to open the parade this year,” she wrote. “Now time to get back home to celebrate with my family and friends!”

Fans Can’t Get Enough of Cynthia Erivo’s Parade Outfit
While Erivo’s voice soared across Manhattan, it was her dramatic all-burgundy outfit that instantly became a fan favorite.
Viewers filled her Instagram comments with praise.
“THE LOOKS!” a commenter wrote along with screaming and happy emojis, expressing excitement.
One fan wrote, “First... that burgundy outfit is fire!!!”
“First: that outfit is boss woman vibes. Second: please release jazz album,” a fan requested.
“Obsessed with these fits queeeeen,” another gushed.
“All the outfits slay but that red one should be a weekly occurrence,” another added.
Her coat-dress was impossible to miss: a floor-length, plush, faux-fur-inspired piece with a sweeping A-line shape that moved like a cape behind her. Wide lapels framed the deep neckline, where gold chains peeked through.
A bold red leather belt with a gold buckle cinched her waist, matching her pointed burgundy heeled boots. Oversized earrings and a monochromatic hat completed the dramatic fall look, one that many fans said they were “obsessed” with.

She later spoke softly with Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie about Wicked: For Good and her new book Simply More: A Book for Anyone Who Has Been Told They’re Too Much, adding that her Thanksgiving plans mostly involved resting.
Her performance also served as the official kickoff moment for the parade. After singing, Erivo cut the ceremonial ribbon with help from the Radio City Rockettes, beginning the 2.5-mile celebration filled with balloons, floats and nearly 30 musical acts.
Erivo’s parade appearance came just 10 days after she lost her voice during the Wicked: For Good New York premiere. Because of it, she skipped most interviews while promoting the film.
The Wicked Star Continues Her Big Year
The actress’ parade spotlight arrives just as Wicked: For Good continues dominating the box office, earning $150 million in its opening weekend and becoming one of 2025’s biggest movie releases.
The star has also been receiving praise for her second studio album I Forgive You, recorded during breaks in filming. The album climbed charts in both the UK and the US, adding another highlight to her already award-winning year.
Erivo closed her Instagram caption by thanking Macy’s, NBC and Peacock for the honor. And based on the reaction on social media, the feeling was mutual. The opening number didn’t just set the tone for the parade; it reminded fans why Erivo continues to shine both on screen and on the streets of New York.
